Designed to be read by anyone, regardless of age, class, gender, or race, this book provides a simple yet well-reasoned answer to the question “What is feminism?” while highlighting the importance of the feminist movement today. By presenting a comprehensive overview of the most important feminist themes, bell hooks clarifies controversies and reveals that what may seem like ideological jargon is, in fact, simply common-sense discourse. She also provides a critical assessment of the successes and failures of contemporary feminism by discussing a wide range of topics, such as reproductive rights, sexual violence, and issues of race, class, and labor. This concise guide, intended for everyone, invites us to seek alternatives to patriarchal, racist, and homophobic culture, and thereby to build a different future.
